4. Weak Immune System
Why It Happens: Without enough B6, your body may struggle to produce white blood cells and antibodies, leaving you more prone to infections.
How to Fix:
Increase your intake of tuna, chicken, turkey, or fortified plant-based alternatives.
Incorporate garlic and ginger into meals, which are immune-boosting as well.
5. Tingling or Numbness in Hands and Feet
Why It Happens: Vitamin B6 helps maintain nerve health, and low levels can cause nerve damage, resulting in numbness, tingling, or pins-and-needles sensations.
How to Fix:
Focus on B6-rich foods like avocado, sunflower seeds, and beans.
Avoid alcohol, which can deplete B6 levels.
6. Skin Rashes or Flaky Skin
Why It Happens: A B6 deficiency can cause seborrheic dermatitis, a red, itchy rash, especially on your face, scalp, and neck.
How to Fix:
Include eggs, milk, and cheese in your diet for B6.
Use a gentle, non-irritating moisturizer on affected areas.
7. Cognitive Impairment or Confusion
Why It Happens: B6 is critical for brain function and development. A lack of it can lead to brain fog, memory issues, or confusion, especially in older adults.
How to Fix:
Incorporate fatty fish like mackerel or sardines, which are high in B6 and other brain-friendly nutrients.
Pair with foods high in omega-3s for enhanced cognitive support.
